TRIP REPORT: NEW INTERIOR American Airlines Boeing 787-8 Business Class (Block 2 - 787T)

Hey, all! Thanks so much for checking out my newest Trip Report! Hope you all enjoyed it!

I was super fortunate to be able to catch American's Brand New Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner in its first week of service! This particular Dreamliner, registered N872AN, was the third "Block 2 - 787T" to be delivered to American in October of this year. But this bird was the first "Block 2" 787 to enter service merely a week prior to the date that I recorded this video!

What are your thoughts on this brand new 787 interior for American Airlines? It will eventually become the standard for the AA long-haul 787 interior. I was highly impressed, and I view it as a major upgrade across all cabins. Let me know your thoughts below!

Here is my flight information:

Awesome review Charlie!! The 787T is such a nice upgrade from the block 1’s, really cool to see how you got almost the entire plane to yourselves!!

Great Job!It looks much better on this a new cabin.(only qurious thing is:why does have few passengers on this flight?)

[chloekim]

Do you think sitting with toddler on lap in first class is worth it? When the bed lays flat would there be room for both of us to sit?

The premium economy seat has a slightly different design to the previous ones. These ones can also be found on their new A321neos.

The ORD-PHL is always empty 4 people besides me in premium economy and like 60 people out back with the front full. lol.

nice review! It's almost like flying on a private jet, the flight was so empty

[cjhan]

787 should be the standard for short (2-3hr) and mid-haul flights. no seat on that aircraft seems uncomfortable.

Very gorgeous!! Altough I am a big Airbus-Enthusiast. If I must choose between the Airbus A350 or the Boeing 787 (Dreamliner). In this case definetely much more I.d like the dreamliner with its almost bird-like shaped wings. My most favourite paint-sheme on a Dreamliner is the brandnew silver/metallic ETHIHAD Airways from Abu Dhabi. But also the brandnew dark-blue UNITED livery looks like great on a Dreamliner-jet.

I was scheduled to fly the 788 back in April, but COVID-19 said “Allow me to introduce myself”

Hey I’m looking to fly the New Dreamliner to Europe sometime next Summer any idea where they will fly this to?

[daffaellong]

I’ll take a note AA 787 business class 5A and 7A no window ..

[devinlong]

Kinda sad to see this beautiful bird virtually empty. I hope with vaccinations rising the planes will be more full again soon.

[qasimahmed]

The 787 isn’t necessarily new anymore, it’s been like 4 or 5 yrs since American got its first delivery
